Rain
Kris Kristofferson Rita Coolidge Lyrics

Rain (rain falling, always falling)
Rain represents the constant flow of life which never stops.

Pain (pain hurting, never-ending)
Pain is an ongoing aspect of life which never seems to end.

Tear (here comes tears of sorrow)
When life becomes too much to bear, tears flow as a symbol of sorrow.

Fear (fear of today, tomorrow)
People are always fearful of what may happen, both now and in the future.

Cry (cry when there's no use crying)
Sometimes crying is a useless exercise that makes no difference to the outcome.

Goodbye (goodbye there's no use trying)
Saying goodbye can be painful and difficult, but it is often the best option.

It all runs together when your loved ones are gone
Without loved ones, life feels incomplete and meaningless as everything blends together in grief and loss.

And your head spins in circles and you're lyin' with your face down in the rain
Grief can be overwhelming and make it feel like your world is spinning out of control.

Salvation army band playin' in their all-night stand
Even in the midst of sorrow, life continues and people go about their business.

Rain pourin' from the sky, blind people passin' by
The rain keeps falling regardless of what is happening around it, and people continue living their lives.

No one will help 'em now, no one will even try
Sometimes, people feel helpless and alone in their struggles with no one willing to assist them.

This is his time at last (this is his time) his life is fading fast
Life is short and fleeting, and everyone's time will eventually come to an end.

His faith is fled away (his faith is gone) he tries but cannot pray
In times of trouble and desperation, even those with strong faith may struggle to find comfort and solace.

This is the way we live (this is the way) we take and never give
The human experience is often characterized by self-interest and taking without giving back.

Rain falling, always falling
Rain represents the continuous flow of life which never stops.

Someone could have helped him but no one would try
Sometimes, people fail to help others in need due to pride, fear, or apathy.

'Cause their pride wouldn't let them and now he's gonna die there in the rain
Pride can be a destructive force that prevents people from showing compassion and helping those in need.

Shall we gather at the river? (shall we gather at the river?)
The river is a symbol of spiritual rebirth and renewal, and people often gather to find comfort and healing in times of trouble.
